Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan has made a powerful comeback on the big screen. His latest film has shown an impressive surge in box office collections on its second day. The film earned ₹21.50 crore on Day 2, which is significantly higher than its Day 1 collection of ₹10.7 crore. This brings the total collection to ₹32.20 crore in just two days.
Made on a ₹90 Crore Budget, Close to Breaking Even
The film has reportedly been made on a budget of around ₹90 crore. With ₹32.20 crore already in, it needs just ₹57 crore more to recover its cost. If the film performs well over the weekend, it could be declared a hit in no time.
Outperforms Aamir’s Previous Flop ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’
Aamir Khan’s previous film, Laal Singh Chaddha, struggled at the box office and managed only ₹9 crore on its first Saturday. In contrast, the new film has already earned more than twice that on its second day, which is a positive sign for its performance and audience reception.
Beats Sunny Deol and Ajay Devgn’s Releases
This year, both Sunny Deol’s Jaat and Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 were well received. However, Raid 2 earned only ₹18 crore and Jaat brought in ₹9.75 crore on their first Saturdays. Aamir Khan’s film has surpassed both with its ₹21.50 crore Saturday collection.
A Big Leap from ‘Taare Zameen Par’
Back in 2007, Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par touched hearts and became a massive success. It was made on a ₹12 crore budget and grossed ₹98 crore worldwide. The first Saturday back then saw just ₹3.21 crore. In comparison, the new film has started off far stronger with over ₹32 crore in two days.
Sunday Will Be the Real Test
All eyes are now on the Sunday box office performance. If the film manages to collect even ₹30 crore on Day 3, it would nearly cover its budget over the weekend. However, since weekday earnings tend to dip, a strong weekend is crucial for long-term success.
In conclusion, Aamir Khan seems to have bounced back stronger after past setbacks, and this film’s emotional and impactful story is helping him reconnect with audiences. It remains to be seen how well the film performs in the coming days.
